Hi,
I am currently using Samsung Corby II S3850.
I need a firmware or an OS image of any type coz the GUI sucks a lot and the Samsung apps market sucks as it does not have free apps to download.
Please help me out with this...
After a quick internet research I'm sorry to tell you that this seems not to be possible. Your phone is not running android os, so you can't use the Google Play Market for the apps. It's also not possible to install Android on your device. (Android would have to be ported to your hardware - this might be possible - but thats only done with phones which have been sold a lot of times - and i think yours not one of these.
The one thing you can try (but I'm sure you already did) is trying to update your phone with an official samsung firmware.
kies

Hi,
I bought a Siroko Mobile 699 a while ago and now I want to flash it. Is it possible to flash it with Android or any other OS?
My problem with this phone is that the screen is not responding properly and it is clearly a software-issue. The "Pen Calibration" is not working either.
I have not yet found any tutorial, Firmware or software to flashing this phone, and now you are my last option.
Thank you.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I looked through a bunch of translated websites but could not find anything for you - sorry!
Thank you.
Well, is it then possible to update the system that is already on the device? My screen is not responding properly, and the "Pen Calibration" does'nt work at all.
The device is a Nokia C6-copy with a Symbianish system - I believe the platform is called MTK6253.
Hi,
I recently purchased a Huawei GX1S and overall found it a good phone except for one thing: the ROM. It uses a Huawei customized ROM which I personally find horrible as it doesn't have any of the regular apps like Play Store or Chrome. It uses Huawei update servers, EMUI, as its system update download server so therefore I can't get any of the Google official updates.
I've Googled up several times to try and find the original Google custom ROM and haven't found anything related to it. The best I could find were 2 tutorial sites that had survey locked download links which I honestly don't trust and wouldn't waste my time on. There seems to be no information at all for this product. Are there any available custom ROMs out there that I can use with this device?
Thanks

I have been into installing custom ROMs and rooting Android for many years now, used many mid range Android devices, never tried to build one from source (did not have good enough hardware or broadband), now I have got both and want to try building ROM from source and got many questions, any help would be appreciated.
Important questions:(Need these answers before I start downloading Repos)
Is it possible to create any Android version Rom for any device? like I used to have Moto G2, if I can get it's source code, can I build Android 11 Rom for it? or am I missing something here?
I own Realme 5 Pro now, if I build Android 11 and flash it, is there any chance it could hard brick my device?
If I'd built Android 11 for R5 Pro, how would I know it's for my device? can I flash that firmware on another device? or vice versa? I know that flashing other device firmware can hard brick your device.
What are the chances of getting bugs after flashing? like ril not working, or maybe settings wont open, camera wont work etc. and how can I fix them for my specific device?
How can I ensure that the specific build only works for R5 Pro and not other device? like do I have to sign it with specific code or anything like that? any idea?
Not so important questions:(You can answer it if u know)
How much download is necessary to build from source? If u have built, is there any specific download size or different for specific devices?
Also if I want to build TWRP recovery for R5 Pro from scratch how would I go about doing that? and what about giving it a different theme style?
How long will it take for my specs pc to build? any estimated idea? (specs: 16gb ddr4 3600mhz ram, Ryzen R5 3700x, Nvidia 2060 Super, and lots of space)
Can I build this Rom to be flashed via recovery or is it has to be fastboot specific?
Can I build Android Kitkat or something old for newer devices?
So these are the initial questions that comes to my mind, I am posting this thread on some diff forums too, if u have any experience regarding this please do share, any help is appreciated, Thank you.

Simple answer would be no, no one but yourself. Coding a custom recovery require for the dev to have the device in question. Second part of the problem is the incentive. Coding a compatible twrp recovery takes time. What is it for the potential developer? Pay someone to help you and you will get results.

True, true, but I am lost with where to start with this ereader. I would probably have to start with linage OS or asop to figure it out, and perhaps brick the ereader a few times

1. You can't just randomly flash lineage os. You need a lineage os image build specifically for your device. Flashing anything else will brick it.
2. Check this link

Now those threads are quite old. I suggest you read through everything and try to download whatever you can. Most links will be dead, so don't just jump in flashing stuff from the first post.

I'm quite sure after research, I happen to have the OG kobo arc
Which by far is interesting
I don't do much with Kobo.
On a regular Android I usually just start with the stock recovery and add a rooted ADB.
That gives me all that I need. I can manually install updates.
